The year 2026 marks a singular and novel historical juncture for the world, as humanity stands on the precipice of a profound shift in civilization's paradigm. The Meta Art Foundation (MAF) acutely perceives that contemporary society has entered a complex context woven from digital order, geopolitical friction, and technological alienation. This exhibition is not only MAF's first in-depth response to the changes of our era since its founding, but also a strategic inquiry into this historical inflection point we call the "New Era of Civilization".

We have brought together five artists with cross-cultural representation from Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region. Our goal is to establish a precise humanistic "Calibrator" amidst the friction between digital wastelands and physical reality. MAF intends to institutionalize this initiative, ensuring that the exhibition remains synchronized with the shifting rhythms of global civilization, catalyzing a visual landscape with contemporary vitality through an annual dialogue.
